Full description

The Heist is a thrilling escape game that puts problem-solving skills to the ultimate test. The mission is both simple and daunting: break into the Barclay Museum to steal a priceless Monet painting that has recently gone missing. The museum’s curator, Vincent Hahn, is under suspicion, and there's reason to believe that recovering the painting falls to a team of expert thieves.

Upon arrival, participants are briefed on the mission and equipped with the tools necessary for the ultimate museum heist. The task is to navigate galleries undetected, outsmart security measures, and access Hahn’s office to recover the painting. Hahn, known for his cunning, has safeguarded the painting with elaborate puzzles and challenges. Teams engaging in this special ops mission must employ their sharpest wits to outmaneuver obstacles and secure the artwork.

Rated as one of the best escape rooms with a difficulty level of 8 out of 10, The Heist remains a top choice for thrill-seekers. It’s not just an escape game; it's a test of teamwork and strategy, making it an excellent choice for team building. Prepare to embark on the prison break escape of a lifetime, as the success of the mission and the fate of the historical art piece rest solely in the hands of the participants.

My experience was fantastic! The customer service was top-notch and the game was super fun. Asante, our game master, provided great clues that helped us solve the challenging room without making it too easy. I highly recommend this place!

Victor E

We had an amazing time! Our group, which included just two adults and a smart 6-year-old, managed to escape from not one but two rooms in one night. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our last night a memorable one. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun night out.

Having played escape rooms in many different cities, I have to say that this Escape Game impressed us with their fantastic theming and attentive staff. The spacious open area is comfortable and well-equipped with many board games to enjoy before or after your escape room experience. I was excited to hear that they were opening a beverage bar when we visited, which will surely add to the fun. We had such a great time that we even came back the next day to do another escape room! Highly recommended.
